"I've been seeing the ball better the last three games," Penn told The Herald afterward. "I went through a dry spell, but this homestand I've been seeing the ball."

Penn
saw the ball well enough to return to the game after four years away.
His original career took him to time in four seasons, Penn making it as high as AA. This return to the field in 1995 ended up being his last as a pro.

Penn's professional career began in 1987, taken by the Expos in the eighth round of the draft out of Cal State-Los Angeles.

He returned with the Expos for one more season, making it to AA Jacksonville. He hit just .222 over 104 games.

Penn then didn't return to the field until spring 1995 and replacement ball.
He then caught on with independent Rio Grande Valley. He hit .293 there
, with 9 home runs and 22 stolen bases, ending his career.
